Mansouetos 1 was bishop of Milan; he was one of the hundred and twenty-five Western bishops who attended the Council of Rome at Easter 680 and who subscribed the decree condemning monotheletism: Riedinger II 2. 148, lines 16-18 (= Mansi XI 305-306) (Μανσούετος κατὰ Θεοῦ χάριν ἐπίσκοπος τῆς ἁγίας ἐκκλησίας Μεδιολάνου; the old Latin version printed in Riedinger II 2. 149, line 15 calls his see "sanctae Mediolanensis ecclesiae"). He was the archbishop of Milan at the time of the Council of Constantinople, when a letter was composed in his name by the bishop of Ticinum, Damianus (Damianos 11), setting out a statement of the faith; the letter was supposedly very influential at the Council: Paul. Diac., Hist. Lang. VI 4 ("sub nomine Mansueti Mediolanensis archiepiscopi").
